Brothers new PC

[★ Coups ★]

Hey guys, 

I'd like to request some assistance with an upgrade/new PC build for my brother.

 

Hes currently got a bad AMD chip with a Radeon R9 270X, which is certainly bottlenecked. 

He's also been having technical issues with blue screens on windows 7, and with his birthday upcoming my father and I would like to get him an upgrade. 

 

This will be for 1080p gaming in games such as Fallout 4, Overwatch, and other AAA games that may be upcoming. Something that is future-proof would be great too. 

 

So far the build idea is:

Looking for a case too, and any other stuff that may come in handy. Thanks

I'm not sure on the current parts apart from the GPU, but his cpu is a really, really bad AMD chip. Budget is around 400-500

ask him what PSU, case and hard drive he has, might be able to reuse

PSU and hard drive should be okay. I think the PSU is some sort of 500w one, perhaps silverstone. I'm not too sure and he has no idea whats in his system. 

 

Case is one of them cheap gaming-styled cases that a lot of pre-mades come in.

Would a small motherboard be good, he is somewhat space restricted since his rooms shape is rather awkward, and he has a small desk.
